Description
Boarding the train at Euston, Alec begins the journey to his former lover's funeral.
Theirs was an affair acknowledged and so permanent that they called themselves 'the Trio', but now only two of them remain.
Returning, 'Uncle Alec' will be welcomed by his lover's children, her husband, Jim, and the suburban world that he left behind.
As memories are rehashed and acquaintances re-met, this is a short tale of regret, old age and the lies that we tell ourselves.
Through conversations, half-hung sentences and painful allusions, Kingsley Amis contemplates the purpose of love, the myriad ways of loving, and the complex web of relationships and distortions that make up our humanity.
